Mariah Carey and James Packer lean in for a kiss
It's only been a matter of weeks but billionaire James Packer and pop diva Mariah Carey are already reportedly talking of marriage. The unlikely couple are said to be so smitten that they have been discussing plans to tie the knot - both for the third time, according to gossip website TMZ.
Pals say the casino mogul and Dreamlover songstress have felt at ease with one another from day one and new snaps show them wearing matching terry toweling bathrobes and locking lips on board his $50 million super yacht, Arctic P.
Parting their mouths as they lean in for the kiss, the new couple share the look of love as they spend time alone on the extravagant boat. They appear to be so comfortable around each other that they have taken to donning identical lounge wear, posing for a cheesy snap in fluffy white robes while James keeps on a pair of sunglasses for the night time photo session.
In the snap, the pair look like they have just finished eating a romantic dinner for two as they pose in front of a set table. News of the unlikely romance first surfaced over the weekend when the pair were spotted ambling along the narrow streets of Capri hand-in-hand, leaving passersby agog.
The Love Takes Time hitmaker accepted the 47-year-old's invitation to sail around the Mediterranean and Packer - Australia's fourth richest man - has been seen fawning over the singer's four-year-old twins, Morocco and Monroe, who have joined them on the trip. A source told TMZ: "He's already told her he wants to marry her, sooner rather than later."
The 45-year-old pop queen is reportedly open to the suggestion of marriage, according to the showbiz website, once she officially divorces rapper husband, Nick Cannon. For his part Sydney-born Packer, who split from his model wife Erica Baxter two years ago, has been pumping out his new squeeze's hit tunes on his luxury boat and looking hopelessly in love.
Sources close to Carey have told TMZ the father-of-three has been "aggressively" pursing the singer for months and is "obsessed" with her music. He attended her concert in Las Vegas a month-and-a-half ago and is said to have chased her ever since.
Packer, who boasts an estimated fortune of US$4.7billion, has been sailing around the Mediterranean on his personal vessel, and was last seen in Cannes. On board his vessel are buxom reality TV filmmaker Stella Bulochnikov and close pal American filmmaker, Brett Ratner, who himself reportedly romanced the beauty, and CEO of Warner Bros. Entertainment, Kevin Tsujihara. (Mail Online)
